Recap of our time away

It was so nice to be away, but also is nice to be home again too. We did have a good time in Abbotsford. It was so good to finally meet Tammy and Rawley and get to know them a wee bit. Now when I call Ryan I have to have a little talk with Rawley if he is around. It is cute, and I love it! I just put up a few pictures that we took while we were there.

The day we went into Vancouver we saw a Carnival Cruise ship that was loading up. WOW!!! I never imagined them to be SO BIG! Makes you wonder how the heck they float. I have always wanted to go on a cruise and just seeing that huge boat there made my desire even stronger. There was a smaller ship parked there as well and it really magnified how big the Carnival one was.

Last time we were in Abbotsford we went home via Highway #3 and I vowed that I would never go in a vehicle that was going that way again! The scenery was beautiful, but all we did was go around curves and climb, climb, climb only to come down, down, down! This time because we went into Westbank to have brunch with Sandra and Al we took a different road home and saw more of the Okanogan. Beautiful, beautiful country for sure, as we did see The Lake of Many Colors and it was HUGE and spectacular to see!

When we checked in at Golden Gary asked the girl about places to eat and she told us about this nice little family restuarant that was within walking distance. It was such a nice little place, very clean and tasty food. They had a varied menu so Crytal was able to find things she liked too. It was nice to just sit and relax, enjoy a drink and then a good meal. Gary did the same thing and was directed to The Hopkins Parlour and it was equally as good. They also had the cutest little gift shop with some of the neatest things in it.
